Lipsticks & Swatches!

I don't own very many lip products. I prefer to wear lip balm most of the time. The lipsticks I do own are from the drugstore, minus one department store brand. The only reason I have it is thanks to their lovely free gifts with certain purchases! I'm not really a lipstick kind of gal, but here are some swatches of the few I do own! These photos were taken with flash. (Click on the images to enlarge!!)



(L-R:Maybelline Colorsensational in born with it, L'Oreal Color Riche in honey peach, Covergirl Continuous Color in golden apricot, Avon Ultra Color Rich in sparkling warm rose, Clinique Different Lipstick in a different grape)


Maybelline Colorsensational Born With it- My #1 one lippie!! This is a very wearable shade for anybody. It is a pretty pale pink with no shimmer. The texture is very creamy. As far as staying power goes, it isn't really long wearing. But the color is just so darling! There is a bit of a perfume scent, but it is hardly there. Doesn't bother me a bit! About 5 dollars at walmart.



L'Oreal Color Riche Honey Peach- I got this for $2 when it originally priced at $8!!! Gotta love walgreens. I don't think this shade really suits my fair skin. It is a true peachy pink shade. No shimmer, but a lovely scent. If you aren't crazy about fruity scents, this might be a bit of a turn off. But the creamy texture is Divine. Very shiny and perfect for summer! I think that it would look better on someone with a darker complexion.



Covergirl Continuous Color Golden Apricot- This is a nice warm shade, but doesn't suit my skintone well. The texture isn't quite as creamy as the Maybelline, but it is very nice. It has light shimmer and golden undertones. Very unnoticeable scent. This was 4 dollars at walmart.



Avon Ultra Color Rich Sparkling Warm Rose- This is a gorgeous warm pink shade! Unfortunately, mine melted. But I apply it with a lip brush and it looks good! This is a shimmery, creamy lippie. The scent is VERY strong and summery, but I enjoy scents. This was about 7 dollars from Avon.



Clinique Different Lipstick A Different Grape- I received this lipstick free from clinique. I really don't wear it....at all. But its a wonderful alternative to red! The texture is so smooth. There is a light perfume scent, very unnoticeable. This was free for me, but probably around 15 dollars at clinique.


That's about it! This was my first swatch blog and I hope that it was helpful. I promise to write some more in the next few days & any suggestions would be lovely! Have a beautiful day!!
